Has anyone else had any problems with this awning leaking? When I first used it and it leaked I thought it was just weathering its self and did not worry, but having just come back from a wet Devon hol it leaked everywhere and the roof sagged with all the rain on it instead of running off it a total nightmare. I would appreciate it if anyone else has had problems with this make of awning,thanks.

I think these cheap porch awnings are all a bit leaky. We have the Kampa Rally 260 and found that it leaked a bit so I put seam sealer all along the leaky seams inside - no leaks any more. We had a sagging roof when we were on a slope and the porch awning was higher than the van. It meant we couldn't get the roof tight enough but the Kampa monsoon poles helped a bit. Since then we've tried to avoid the situation and it's been fine even in the torrential rain a few weeks ago.
